Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🚂🌱 Vegetative Week 1 | Building Momentum Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another chapter of this 12/12 From Seed adventure. This week we continue the journey with Cash Express Pheno A as she completes her first full week of vegetative growth and begins settling into her final home. Following a smooth germination and early seedling stage, she has now officially entered the phase where roots begin exploring new territory and the plant starts building the framework that will support the rest of the cycle. While every plant in this project shares the same environment, nutrition program, and methodology, each phenotype brings its own personality to the garden. And Cash Express Pheno A is already beginning to introduce herself. ⸻ Straight Into The Final Home As with all plants in this project, Pheno A was transplanted directly into her final container early in life. Since this run follows a strict 12/12 From Seed methodology, the objective is to avoid unnecessary interruptions to root development. By allowing the roots to establish themselves immediately inside their final container, we reduce transplant stress later in the cycle and give the plant every opportunity to maximize its limited vegetative window. At this stage, everything happening below the surface is just as important as what we can see above it. ⸻ Plagron Lightmix Foundation The growing medium for this run is Plagron Lightmix. Lightmix provides a gentle starting environment for young plants while still offering enough nutrition to support healthy early development. For seedlings, less is often more. The goal is not explosive growth during the first week. The goal is creating a stable environment where roots can expand freely and plants can establish themselves without unnecessary stress. So far, Pheno A seems very happy with the arrangement. ⸻ Water First, Feed Later The first irrigation after transplant consisted of plain water only. During the first days of life, seedlings still rely heavily on the energy reserves stored within the seed itself. Combined with the nutrition already present in the Lightmix substrate, there is little reason to rush additional feeding. Around Day 4 we introduced a gentle nutrition program consisting of: 🌱 Terra Grow 🌱 Pure Zym 🌱 Power Roots 🌱 Sugar Royal All products were used at light dosages with the goal of supporting root development, microbial activity, and overall plant health without pushing growth unnecessarily hard. The philosophy remains simple: Healthy roots first. Everything else follows. ⸻ Light Strategy & 12/12 From Seed One question that often comes up when growers follow these diaries is why the seedlings are already receiving approximately 350 PPFD. Under an 18/6 schedule this might seem relatively strong for plants this young. However, because this project is being run under a 12/12 schedule from seed, total daily light accumulation remains significantly lower than what plants would receive under traditional vegetative schedules. This is where DLI (Daily Light Integral) becomes important. Although the PPFD is moderate, the reduced lighting duration keeps the total daily light exposure within a comfortable range for young plants. The objective is early adaptation rather than rapid acceleration. By gradually introducing stronger light from the beginning, the plants learn to work efficiently under the conditions they will experience throughout the entire cycle. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% 🌱 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌿 CO₂ levels: approximately 600 ppm Maintaining consistency remains one of the most important aspects of early plant development, and so far the environment has remained exactly where we want it. ⸻ Early Observations Cash Express Pheno A appears to have adapted very well to her new environment. Growth has been steady throughout the week and by the end of the reporting period we are already seeing the emergence of healthy three-finger leaves. Leaf color remains vibrant and uniform. Structure appears symmetrical. The stem is developing nicely and overall growth feels balanced and confident. At approximately 3.5 cm tall, she may still be small, but she is already showing signs of healthy progression and strong establishment. This is exactly the kind of development we hope to see during Week 1. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Simply healthy growth built on solid foundations. ⸻ Looking Ahead As we move into the second week, the root system should continue expanding rapidly while vegetative growth begins to accelerate above the soil. The appearance of the first true leaf sets is often where individual phenotype traits begin revealing themselves, and it will be interesting to see what characteristics Cash Express Pheno A decides to express as the journey continues. For now, she is healthy, stable, and steadily moving forward. Exactly where we want her to be. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Cash Express genetics for this project. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and substrate supporting this run. And thank you to Future of Grow and everyone following along and supporting these diaries. Your support makes projects like this possible. As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next week… Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🚂

I switched my nutrients to Nectar For the Gods because I didn't have the funds in the beginning to do so. I got their spartan regiment with the extras. Photo-plus and SLF-100 which I use separately and not during feeding. Im watering everyday and feeding every other day. Water days I use SLF-100 and the next water day I use tea with Photo plus. my tea I use bloom by cultured biologics organic easy bloom and compost worm castings from my personal vermicomposting bed. alternating water days with the slf and photo plus was a massive growth in buds. They dense' nd up and just started putting on trichomes. brilliant brand- Nectar! OCGFAM for life now. Feeding is a pain but damn its worth it. Pricy but worth the investment!

Seguimos regando solo con agua esperando que quede lo mas limpia posible. Ya es cosa de dias la fecha de corte. Esperare a que se seque el sustrato y terminaré este cultivo para posteriormente ponerme a darle un buen curado. Muy contento con esta cepa de @sweetseeds 💪👨‍🌾

I am happy how this grow went , didn’t come across no issues at all it was a pretty smooth run , it took all nutrients like a champ , never had any over watering problems or nothing The water I use is 6.4 PH from Lidl and haven’t occurred no problems across my grows I don’t even have a PH or TdS tester 🤭 Overall this was a joy to grow very strong sour citrusy apple smell , looking forward to trying it so hope the dry and cure goes well as the rain hasn’t helped the humidity Temps around 19-22c Humidity 50-67 I’m trying to control it as much as possible also with a oscillation fan blowing air around the room

420Fastbuds Week 7 Gorilla Cookies Auto The 2 of these seem to be growing great. The bigger one seems to have taken the fasttrack to flower as they both sprouted around the same time. The smaller one is by no means doing bad it's just a little slower but by the looks of it I'll guess it'll be close the the same size as the taller one that's close to 40in tall from the top of the soil. The taller one has preflowers all over and even though is tall stacked nice so the spacing on branches between flower sites isn't to far. This week the temps have been dropping from the low 90's to the mid 70's during the day and into the 50's at night. Got some rain today so humidity is up to 65% but I upped my fans so hopefully will be ok and it was a fluke storm so guessing tomorrow will be back to sunshine and nice weather. Until next week Happy Growing

Did some more defoliation this week and gave some nutrients.They are looking happy and healthy still in vegetation stage but soon I’ll switch the light cycle.I added a scrog net and will clean up the bottoms tonight as I’m ready to switch to flower soon.I want to keep them smaller if possible in the short 3x3 60 inch high tent they are in atm with a spider farmer sf1000 light 100 percent power.Also have a Co2 bag hanging and hopefully adds a little more growth during the early flowering weeks.

Ich hätte vielleicht ein paar der kleinen Knospen wegschneiden sollen, fand es nur super hübsch und dachte ich behalte die, aber jetzt muss ich fast jede Woche Blätter entfernen die sonst Licht für die anderen verdecken würden und das wenigstens etwas Luft reinkommt :D Wenn die schimmelt wäre schon Arsch freue mich schon stark auf das verkosten :D Achso und hebe den ab und an mal an und kippe eigentlich alle 2 Tage 4,5L Wasser drauf :o

Calcium deficiency is rearing its head, it's only minor so shouldn't really be a problem.

dear grow community, I report back with the fifth week of my royal gorilla auto grow. This week my plants have started to flower. They have grown extremely well and I have a lot of fun taking care of them. I have now stopped using LST as I want the plants to grow upwards. I have also changed my fertilizer. I also changed my sodium vapor lamp from veg to flower. I'm looking forward to see my babies flower and hopefully produce big buds. I am mostly satisfied with the strain, but one plant has began to flower realy early as you can see in the picture. best wishes absolutgrow

Her roots started coming out of the pot and was going into the gravity fed system about 5-6 days ago, trimmed her roots with a scissors slightly and elevated the pot for a few hours to air prune and is showing no signs of stress! I did a feeding today, I will be giving her 2 feedings a week for a few weeks during the beginning of flowering. Humidity has gone down, have been managing it with keeping the door open to the room and added a extra humidifier.
